What about the children??

Invite the children??If you decide not to invite children, do not write it on your invites. Simply address the invite to the parents, omitting the children. Let word spread by mouth. What parts of the wedding can children be a part of?*Junior Groomsmen/Bridesmaids/Ushers (ages 4 to 8)*Ring Bearers (ages 4 to 8)*Page/Train Bearer(s) (ages 6 to 9)--This English tradition usually is performed by two little boys who follow the bride down the aisle, carrying her long train. Feel free to have girl pages!*Candle Kids (ages 9 to 12)Alter Arrangements: Where do they stand?Include children attendants in the altar line-up only if they are old enough to stand still comfortable for the duration of your ceremony. Otherwise, stand them behind you, in front of your older attendants, or have them sit with their parents. I have a child(ren) from a previous marriage/relationship. I want them to be included in my ceremony...any ideas?

Include them in the vows where they accept their new siblings or family.

10 Best Ways to Cut Costs {according to Mindy Weiss..with
my 2 cents added}
1. Trim the guest list: the fewer guests--the fewer tables--the fewer
centerpieces, the fewer expenses
2. Choose a gorgeous setting: this cuts down on the cost of decorations
3. Use a reception site that is already equipped with tables, chairs, flatware,
and staff: save on delivery fees
4. Start the wedding earlier in the day: an early wedding means less food...unless
you and your future spouse are foodies!
5. Limit the alcoholic offerings to wine, beer, and a signature cocktail ...or
skip the alcohol altogether!
6. Move the wedding from Saturday to Sunday: or possibly to a weekday. Venues
are less expensive during the week. 7.
Eliminate the champagne toast: guests can raise their punch, water, or tea in
your honor
8. Hire a DJ instead of a band.
9. Opt for standard sized invitations: irregular shaped invitations cost more
to ship. 10.
Skip favors: unless they are spectacular, unusual, and usable. Otherwise, the…
